Abstract
The present investigation was conducted at the Experimental Farm, Department of Agriculture, Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab in 2023 with ten treatments comprising of T1; Control, T2; GA3 (250 ppm), T3; GA3 (350 ppm), T4; GA3 (450 ppm). T5; CCC (450 ppm), T6; CCC (550 ppm), T7; CCC (650 ppm), T8; NAA (40 ppm), T9; NAA (50 ppm) and T 10; NAA (60 ppm) with three replications in randomized block design. The results revealed the maximum plant height (27.94 cm), plant spread (57.02 cm2), number of leaves/plant (651.04), number of branches/plant (21.96), Stem length (25.63), Leaf area (9.07 cm2) were in T3; GA3 at a rate of 350 ppm, while minimum plant height (19.05 cm) and Stem length (16.12 cm) was recorded in T6; CCC at a rate of 550 ppm and rest of the vegetative parameters was in T1; Control.
